Tomato Puree — MUNCH

Munch or Dump rates Tomato Puree by The Grower’s Harvest MUNCH — score 100/90.

Two ingredients: concentrated tomatoes and a squeeze of citric acid. Tesco's budget range wraps itself in green leaves and 'farm grown' cosplay, but for once the product under the costume is exactly what it should be. Cook with it freely.

Why this verdict

• Two-ingredient list — the strongest minimal-processing signal there is
• Double-concentrated tomato puree is just tomatoes with the water removed
• Citric acid is a benign, standard acidity regulator
• No added salt, no added sugar, no thickeners — many purees can't say the same
• Concentration means real lycopene and tomato nutrition per gram

Ingredients (2)

• Tomato Puree (safe) — Real tomato base, the legitimate heart of the soup.
